Matthew 'Matt' Hayes (born 24/11/1961) in Smethwick near Birmingham, UK ) is a British angler who has been making television angling programmes for the last 10 years featured mainly on the digital TV channel, Discovery Real Time(Shed). Due to his television work and the numerous fishing articles he has written, Hayes is one of the UK's most famous and recognisable anglers. He is often seen on TV alongside his fishing companion and fellow programme contributor Mick Brown. A lesser known fact Matt has a Law degree from Wolverhampton University and also won specimen fishing’s top prize, the Drennan Cup in ‘98 he then dropped out of serious big fish angling to rediscover pleasure fishing. I still like to catch big fish but for me, what really counts is experiencing fishing in all of its forms. I came to realize that measuring success in pounds and ounces is a road to nowhere" (A quote I can personally identify with),Matt currently lives in Shropshire and
has written a weekly column in the Angling Times for almost ten years.Matt pictured with a whacking common "Don't they ang on!".

Carp Fishing said...

I am so impressed with your great work and you have very good research about carp wishing how do you position our rods? Do you have the tips in the water? Do you set them both up to point straight ahead? Or do you separate them onto individual bank sticks based on the fact you have one swim to the left of them in the margins and one swim straight ahead at the island? . And carpbuddy.com is a site that provides lots of carp fishing news and carp fishing new and a lot of carp fishing information.
